Abstract:
objective To evaluate the clinical effect of touqing capsule associated with Fengchi on the vertebral artery type of cervical spondylosis(CSA)in the attack stage.Methods A total of 100 patients with CSA, according to the doctor order, were randomly divided into a control group and a treatment group respectively, with 50 patients in each. The control group was treated with acupuncture therapy, the treatment group was additionally treated with Touqingcapsule on the basis of the control group, and both groups were treated for 20 days. The hemodynamics was detected by transcranial doppler, the change of TCM syndrome integral was observed before and after the treatment, and the clinical efficacy was evaluated.Results After treatment, the treatment group dizziness (1.10 ± 0.33 vs. 2.01 ± 0.26,t=14.909), neck shoulder ache (0.87 ± 0.16 vs. 1.92 ± 0.69,t=10.266), numbness (0.95 ± 0.14)vs. 1.87 ± 0.16,t=29.844), the total integral (2.16 ± 0.75 vs.3.89 ± 1.14,t=8.756) integral were significantly lower than the control group(P<0.01).Treatment group RVA (40.03 ± 5.89 cm/svs. 34.26 ± 6.26 cm/s,t=4.628), the LVA (42.14 ± 5.42 cm/svs.33.89 ± 6.08 cm/s,t=6.985) rise and PI (0.79 ± 0.14 vs.1.04 ± 0.19,t=7.312) reduction were significantly better than those of the control group (P<0.01). The total effective rate in the treatment group was significantly better than the control group (91.7%(44/48)vs. 74.5%(35/47),χ2=3.863, P=3.863).Conclusion Touqing Capsule associated with Fengchi is effective for CSA. Its functional mechanism is correlated with improvement of haemodynamics of vertebral-basilar artery of the CSA patients.
